PREPOSITIONS Předložky (prepositions) jsou slova nebo sousloví
Unit 10 Prepositions. PREPOSITIONS Předložky (prepositions) jsou slova nebo sousloví, která vyjadřují podobné okolnosti jako příslovce, totiž místo, čas, způsob, přičinu nebo důvod atd. Vstupují ve slovní spojení, ve kterých se často kladou před podstatné jméno (the parents of the child, a man of letters), zájmeno (we are speaking about him), přídavné jméno (to hope for fine weather) nebo číslovku (dinner for three), ale na rozdíl od češtiny také před celou větou (I am surprised at what you say. I was thinking of how you would manage it alone.). V angličtině, která ztratila téměř všechny pádové koncovky, jsou předložky jedním z nejdůležitějších prostředků vyjadřování vztahů mezi větnými členy. Předložky tvoří se jménem pojmový celek a samostatně, bez spojení se jmény, se nevyskytují. Svědectvím toho je, že táž předložka mívá různé významy; teprve spojením s určitým jménem nabývá předložka jednoznačného smyslu. Anglické předložky se všechny pojí s tzv. objektovým pádem, tj. v našem pojetí čtvrtém. Není tedy správné mluvit o tom, že se některá pojí s gentiviem, jiná s dativem, protože takové pády v angličtině neexistují. Předložky mohou stát 1. bezprostředně před jménem, ke kterému patří (We walked about the town. He came after me. He works at a large factory. Please do it for my sake.), nebo 2. na konci věty a) tázací, vztahuje-li se předložka k tázacímu výrazu who(m), what, which, where: Who(m) did you address it to? What are you thinking of; b) vztažné, vztahuje-li se ke vztažnému zájmenu (je-li toto vynecháno, musí stát vždy na konci): The man (whom) you are speaking about lef last wee. The shop (that) we buy our vegetables from is shut.; c) v trpných vazbách: The bed has been slept in. The child must be looked after.; d) v infinitivních přívlastkových vazbách: She has no voice to speak of. I have nothing else to refer to. TIME AT označuje zcela určitý časový údaj; používá se s názvy svátků at three o’clock at that hour at noon at night at dawn (za svítání) at (the age of) sixteen at once (najednout) at the beginning at the end of at the weekend at this moment IN at present (v současné době) at midday, at lunch time at tea-time, at midnight at bedtime at intervals at Christmas at Easter at weekends označuje, za jakou dobu se něco stane; obvykle je pak ve větě budoucí čas in two days (za dva dny) in a minute in two month’s time in a few minutes in a year’s time užívá se s názvy období roků, částí dnů, s měsíci atd. in spring, in summer in winter, in autumn in 1993 in the morning, in the evening in the afternoon in January in the holidays in the interval (o přestávce) BY in working hours (once, twice) in a week in the Victorian period in the fifties (v padesátých letech) in my young days in the beginning (zpočátku) in the end (ku konci, na konec) označuje limit doby; obvykle s budoucím časem 144 Unit 10 Prepositions. by six o’clock (do šesti hodin už bude hotovo) by Monday Ale!!! by day, by night (ve dne, za noci) ON s názvy dnů a dat on Friday on May 3rd on a sunny day on Sunday morning on a Friday afternoon FOR on Monday next on Tuesday night on Christmas day on the morning of August 15th on his birthday po: určitou dobu: délka trvání děje for three days for ever (navždy) SINCE for the whole week I haven’t seen him for ages.
